"He may use them till their sap dry out."
"And he who binds the dry in bundles?" "He may use them till the second
rain descends."(81) "The leaves of reeds and the leaves of vines?" "They
may be used till they fall from their stems." "And he who binds the dry in
bundles?" "He may use them till the second rain descends." Rabbi Akiba
said, "they may be used by all persons till the second rain descends."

7. "Like to this rule is his case who rented a house to his neighbor till
the rains?" "This means till the second rain descends." "He who by his vow
cannot get assistance from his neighbor till the rains?" "This means till
the second rain descends." "When may the poor enter into the gardens?"(82)
"When the second rain descends." "When may they use and burn the stubble
and straw of the Sabbatical year?" "When the second rain descends."

8. "A man had fruit of the Sabbatical year, and the time came for clearing
it out from his house?" "He may divide to everyone victuals for three
meals; and the poor may eat the fruit after the clearing of it out, but

9. "A man had fruits of the Sabbatical year, whether they fell to him by

their price be divided to every man." "He who eats dough of the Sabbatical
year before the heave-offering be separated from it?" "He is guilty of
death."
